An eye-catching piece of functional art you can use in the kitchen daily.
This knife features a new blended s-grind that makes it glide through food effortlessly. The high carbon stainless steel I used makes it easy to sharpen, with the sharpness and wear resistance very similar to a high-quality carbon steel knife - except it's stainless.
The highly figured spalted Tamarind used for the handle & scabbard has been processed & stabilized in resin plastic for over 3 weeks. This makes the density at par with engineered hardwoods while preserving the natural beauty of the material.
Each part of this knife was meticulously hand-crafted in the Balete Blades studio. I make every new knife unique to its owner, even with similar designs, no two knives will be exactly the same.
